A real-life story that shows how hiding the past in a marriage can lead to broken trust, legal battles, and ultimately, divorce. This highlights the importance of honesty in relationships and the far-reaching impact of deception on families and society.
Arranged Marriage and the Journey to Know Each Other
By the end of 2017, I tied the knot in an arranged marriage. The eight-month gap between our engagement and marriage was meant to help us understand and know each other better. It felt like the right thing to do—laying the foundation for trust and transparency.
However, what seemed like a promising start turned out to be a nightmare. In a seven-year span (from 2017 to 2024), we lived together for only seven months. You’ll soon learn why.

The Fake DV Case and the Hidden Past
In 2021, she filed a fake Domestic Violence (DV) case against me. I immediately filed a Written Statement, rejecting all allegations and repeatedly requesting the court to dismiss the case with evidence to prove my innocence.
But one day, my lawyer uncovered something shocking. My ex-wife had filed an *ape case 1.5 years before our engagement. This revelation left me stunned, and my mother fainted when she heard the news.

The Hidden Truth and Betrayal
Despite the significant gap between our engagement and marriage, she never disclosed this critical detail. Neither she, her parents, nor her relatives mentioned this after the wedding. This was pure backstabbing.
The realization hit hard—I was depressed, and suicidal thoughts began to creep in. How could someone I trusted betray me like this?

Turning Pain into Strength
This betrayal changed my attitude. I decided to leave those suicidal thoughts behind and fight back in court. My lawyer and I followed the case diligently and secured the judgment for that previous case. We attached it to our say in court, but shockingly, the judge wasn’t even interested in reading it.
However, this move shocked the opposition. They panicked, begged for mercy, and pleaded not to focus on that judgment further. Eventually, we divorced peacefully. She didn’t demand a huge settlement—she simply wanted the divorce to escape the court and the judgment we presented.

Lessons Learned from the Betrayal
I am not against justice or her decision to file a case, but I am against her lies and fake allegations. Her actions shattered my trust in people and left me with trust issues that linger to this day.
If she had told me about her past, I would have either accepted or rejected her. That choice was mine to make, and her lies stole it from me. Now, she has to raise a child and manage her expenses without my support.
